I can and do.  Just not this batch.  Do we have a problem?

Pretty sure this is the same guy who "almost" killed a coues with his bow when it literally RAN past his blind a few years back.

Yep that was me.  It was a very cool encounter.  What of it?

Thank you very much and I sure will!

Last year I had 2 WT tags and had high expectations. Hunted 5 days in New Mexico and 13 days in AZ.

Since my expectations were high I ate both tags but don't regret the time I was able to spend with my kids on a couple of days,

including a great backpack hunt with my daughter....priceless really.

That Mexico buck will be very difficult to beat even on San Carlos (btw that is a smoker deer!). What are you hunt dates in December?

That will be your best tag, IMO, and I would hold out for a big buck on that one!

I don't know anything about 33 and only a little about 16, which like others have said, and I agree, it will be tough. Although, with a guide, it is increasing your chances.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks Jeff!  It’s gonna be a grind for sure but what the heck, you only live once!

Filled my tag in unit 33!  Not that 100 inches I was after but a respectable high eightys buck that will make it into the SCI book as a bronze award.  2 SCI book bucks down in 2022, 2 to go!  Up next New Mexico in 8 days!  Thanks for all the support!

Thank you!  I am very pleased.  We hunted hard for the entire hunt and with only a day and a half left to hunt this was the right decision.  I did not want to come home empty handed.
